When does the onslaught of Rarity end?

Let's keep this one short and sweet, mostly because I'd rather be doing anything else than talk about this episode. So, without further ado, blah blah blah, Made in Manehattan.

Spoilers. You've been warned.

I didn't like this episode.

Overall, I rate this episode at-

Hello, Everybrony!

This episode was so intriguing that I could help but review it! I know you all are probably thinking, “Why is posting a blog post about last week’s episode now? It’s old news.” Well, this episode required a lot of time to analyze properly, and I’ve been busy throughout the week. Besides, I might even be able to do two analyses today!

I also decided not to bother with a YouTube video post because it’s always taken down and not worth the time.

Wow – 100 followers! A hundred readers who I can amuse with my random commentary on ponies, rainbows, particle physics and other nonsense. Welcome to everyone new.

The latest chapter of M.L.G. is going to be delayed by a day or two. There are several reasons for this.

#1: As I've stated previously, I do most of my work on the story at my office. Business has picked up some, which has given me less time to write than I'd hoped.

The title says it all. Enjoy.

I have my doubts that I'll be able to finish the chapter by my estimated deadline. Work and distractions have been a bit of a thing, and on top of that, I have to go to the hospital on Monday so they can check to see how the Humira I've been taking is treating me. The chapter is nowhere near finished, much to my annoyance. So if I'm unable to upload anything by next Saturday, I'll let you know.

I've had a few of my readers tell me in the comments of M.L.G.'s "Trifecta - Part Three" that Gray's backstory wasn't something they saw coming. That actually surprises me. I mean, my opinion of the subject matches Levi's: the whole thing strikes me as somewhat cliche. Was it really that out-of-nowhere for y'all?

I'm going to try to get the next actual chapter of M.L.G. up tonight, but I'm likely not going to be on to answer any comments for the next few days.

I still haven't received the picture yet--not surprising, considering that people tend to be busy during the month of December--but work on M.L.G. continues. I've got two chapters done. Well, technically one and a third chapters done: material for the second day of Gray's challenge is finished, but the third day has enough material going for it that what I have finished will be the first part of three.

The next chapter of M.L.G. will probably be delayed a little bit. There's a scene I have written that's begging to have artwork done of it, and since my skills in that area are lacking... yeah.

Just thought I'd let you know. >^_^<

In M.L.G.'s chapter "All Alone In the Moonlight" (a reference to the song "Memory" from Cats, BTW), there was a sequence where First Quarter's memories were being forcibly downloaded into Hazelnut's brain. It's been ten months since I posted the chapter, and I don't think anyone (or at least anyone who's commented on the story yet ()^_^) has caught on to just how serious Quarter's grudge is against Celestia.

I'll cut-and-paste the relevant passage here for your convenience.

That pretty much summarizes my mental state of the past few days. Constantly tired (half due to not getting enough sleep and half due to my walking regimen), and I can't really think of things I want to write for the story. You know you're having trouble finding things to talk about when your brain fishes for tuna, but ends up with guppies instead.
